<p>[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3288249, member: 96635"]One of my collection aims in 2019 is to obtain both a first tetradrachm and a first tetradrachm of Alexander III. I prefer lifetime issue because it just makes it historical interesting. However, I saw some interesting posthumous ones from Memphis under Ptolemy I and from Susa and Ecbatana under Seleukos I and as far as I know these are quite rare mints and that adds a lot of interesting historical value in my eyes. I am really doubting between one of those interesting posthumous ones or a common lifetime one. I could take both as well, but not both in 2019 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Either an interesting posthumous or a common lifetime for 2019.</p><p><br /></p><p>So my question is, are posthumous issues always less wanted and historically valuable then Alexander lifetime tetradrachms?

[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3288249, member: 96635"]One of my collection aims in 2019 is to obtain both a first tetradrachm and a first tetradrachm of Alexander III. I prefer lifetime issue because it just makes it historical interesting. However, I saw some interesting posthumous ones from Memphis under Ptolemy I and from Susa and Ecbatana under Seleukos I and as far as I know these are quite rare mints and that adds a lot of interesting historical value in my eyes. I am really doubting between one of those interesting posthumous ones or a common lifetime one. I could take both as well, but not both in 2019 ;) Either an interesting posthumous or a common lifetime for 2019. So my question is, are posthumous issues always less wanted and historically valuable then Alexander lifetime tetradrachms? Or can posthumous sometimes be even much more interesting then a lifetime issue? What are your opinions regarding the posthumous vs lifetime? Your opinions are appreciated. Also, a happy new year to everyone :). P.S. Don't forget to show your Alexander tetradrachms and how that coin supports your opinion.[/QUOTE]
